Brunch at Hotel del Coronado

Beware when reserving, that you get the right brunch! I called the hotel to book brunch 2 weeks in advance, and when I arrive and requested directions to the brunch we were taken to the Serea restaurant, not the brunch buffet pictured. The hotel did not provide any feedback by phone that there were multiple brunch options. I was prepared to spend up for the brunch experience pictured, but instead got an overpriced mediocre brunch menu. The $40 lobster roll tasted freezer burnt. The service was decent, but a little slow. Had I known we weren’t getting the full scale brunch I would have chosen a restaurant in town.

Title: A Sunday Delight: Brunch at Hotel del CoronadoBrunch at Hotel del Coronado was an unforgettable experience, made even better by the company of my friend Nicole. We indulged in the divine combination of steak and eggs, accompanied by crunchy fries and a heavenly Blood Mary. The setting, right on the beach, transported me to a different world, creating a captivating atmosphere reminiscent of a faraway country. The service was impeccable, deserving nothing less than a solid 5 stars. Overall, a perfect Sunday escape filled with culinary delights and beachside bliss.

Our server Anthony was excellent, this review has nothing to do with him. The problem I understand was the kitchen. I had Greek salad with shrimp & they over cooked the shrimp (b4 coming to the table) & needed to redo it. Totally it tool 1 hours to get our food & another 1/2 hr for ice cream. Then there is the $35 valet parking charge. We obviously used all out time at the restaurant & did not get to look around the hotel or beach. A bit of a disappointment & hubbys food was cold but he was starved & ate it. I don't think we'll be back.

False advertising! $1000 dollars for 4 people better be the best meal of my life. Nope. Goes down as one of the worst. The new way with these places now over promise and under deliver. Wasn’t even in the ballroom as advertised. No giant seafood buffet. Cold food. Blah sides and desserts.

The Thanksgiving Brunch was terrible, the food was cold and bland. The event was held in a large room that felt like it was a retirement home. The Crown Room was closed but they didn't tell you that until you arrived.

Mother's Day brunch of the past is no more! What an incredibly underwhelming buffet and experience! This was my first brunch since pre-Covid. I get inflation and all but the quality and the selections were minimal for 250 a person (w/taxes & gratuity prepaid). It really felt like a 50 dollar buffet. Minimal seafood options, proteins, salads, desserts and cheeses. For the value and standards that you would expect should be way higher! Not to mention the service? not even close to capacity ( I wonder why?) and no attentiveness to customers on water refills? Really? This wasn't even close to past Mother's day brunches or even a regular Sunday brunch for that matter! EPIC WASTE OF MONEY AND SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT! Shame on you Hotel Del. Just go somewhere else... you will thank me.

We had Manuel as our server for a table of 7 people. Amazing service with a smile! Food was delicious with live music. Manuel got us everything we asked for and with a smile! Served us endless mimosas and coffee. Manuel had a good knowledge of the menu and gave us great service! Will definitely be coming back!

The Sunday brunch at Hotel Del Coronado is one of a kind. Their weekday brunch doesn’t serve the same food as the Sunday brunch, which includes a New York roast beef, a seafood bar featuring shrimp cocktail and smoked salmon, and the *best* waffles I’ve ever had before. Plus it serves all the usual breakfast items, and there’s an omelet station. The pastries are not dessert pastries, but they’re good too. What makes this place a killer though is the combo of the food plus the ocean view. If you get a reservation on a clear day, this might be the best buffet view in all of California, as a bunch of the other restaurants with ocean views no longer serve buffets due to Covid. Also, you’ll need to make a reservation if you do the Sunday brunch, as walk-ins are basically non-existent due to its popularity.

Yum, we ate here almost every day in the hotel for a few days while we were staying here.

work place nice

Nice . Bubs n i had a nice lil meal, drinks, deserts then enjoyed the views around not bad

The room is enchanting and if you have time to go on one of the properties historic tours, do so before your special occasion in The Crown Room. It will make it all the more memorable.
